    Is it true the hens choose which sex they lay?

    I was told by a friend that the hens are the ones that decide wether to lay a female or a male egg. I thought this might be true because the eggs I bout from her came froma flock of two drakes and one of them was very mean to the girls. He would grab them by the back of their head like he was...

    Do I have a big enough waterer for my chickens

    I bought a waterer that says it is good enough for 25 chickens and I am assuming that that is enough to last 25 FULL GROWN birds for the WHOLE day right? I believe it is a 1 gal size waterer. Well, I have 9 chickens about 2 months old, and some small quail. I will come out to shut the coop up...

    Curious about a chick behavior

    So I was watching my chicks in the brooder tank(I use a large livestock watering tank) and I kept seeing the chicks spread out their wings and then their foot on the same side. I thought nothing of it and considered it a stretch. Then they started to lay down on their side with the wing and foot...

    Fairly new to the chicken thing and LOVING this site

    I am personally new to chickens but my husband raised them with his family when he was younger. Right now we have 9 chickens all about the same age. Maybe a month difference between the oldest and the youngest. We have a pair of Black Australorps, a pair of Barred Rocks, a pair of Buff...

    I think I have an Australorp roo & I paid for SLW but I am pretty sure they are australorps too

    I can't quite tell if this one is a roo. At first I was sure because he/she was bigger than the other Australorp and he/she looked like he/she was more red in the face. Now though, I am starting to see red on the other Australorp's head and she has caught up in size. Anyone have any thoughts...

    Black Austalorp with white markings on her wing feathers.

    So I bought a pair of Barred Rock Pullets, Buff Orpington Pullets, and Black Australorps. My questions has to do with the last pair. One of the Black Australorps has white markings on the end of her mature wing feathers. I was under the impression that this breed was ALL black. The other Black...
